Hi, Erik,

That's solved it for me. It still does not happen /every/ time I 
insert a Zotero link that the link is expanded with a full biblio 
description, but it happens most of the time, and for when it doesn't, 
`C-c z u' seems to work reliably now.

(Firefox taxes my old system a bit, and runs with frequent pauses, 
which may account for my having more trouble communicating with 
MozRepl than you're seeing. Looking forward to the API.)

One more issue I see is with Unicode characters. They are preserved 
when I command-shift-copy a reference from Zotero into an Org buffer 
(I have current-language-environment set to UTF-8). Org-zotero-mode 
does not preserve them. I've had a quick look at the code but haven't 
pinned it down why not.

I may have some more feedback in a week's time when I've cleared my 
Christmas deadlines, but for now, thanks for this!

Yours,
Christian
